James Corden | British comic actor, writer, and television personality | Britannica.com British comic actor, writer, and television personality Written By: Alternative Title: James Kimberley Corden James Corden British comic actor, writer, and television personality born Rosie O’Donnell James Corden, in full James Kimberley Corden (born August 22, 1978, London, England), British comic actor, writer, and television personality known for his likability and self-deprecating humour. He first garnered attention for his stage and TV roles and later became host of The Late Late Show (2015– ). Corden grew up in Buckinghamshire, where he attended the Jackie Palmer Stage School in High Wycombe with future Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne . In his autobiography, May I Have Your Attention, Please? (2011), Corden revealed that he had discovered his calling at age four when the congregation laughed as he misbehaved in church at his younger sister’s christening. His early TV work included recurring roles on Boyz Unlimited (1999), Teachers (2001–03), and Fat Friends (2000–05).

Corden’s big break came in 2004 when he was cast as the jokester Timms in Alan Bennett ’s play The History Boys at the National Theatre. He remained with the play in 2006 as it toured to Hong Kong , Australia, and New Zealand and opened a Tony Award -winning run on Broadway. That same year he reprised his role in the play’s film adaptation . For his next project, Corden and actress Ruth Jones jointly created and wrote the romantic sitcom Gavin & Stacey (2007–10), with supporting roles for themselves as the main characters’ respective best friends. Corden won a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award in 2008 for his role as Gavin’s pal Smithy. He and Matthew Horne, who had portrayed Gavin, then wrote and starred in the limited-run sketch comedy Horne & Corden (2009). His noteworthy guest appearance in a 2010 episode of Doctor Who spurred the show’s producers to revive his character the following season.

Corden later appeared in the 10-episode TV comedy thriller The Wrong Mans (2013–14), which garnered him a BAFTA nomination. Corden returned to the stage in May 2011 with the National Theatre’s hit One Man, Two Guvnors, an English-language adaptation of the 18th-century Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni ’s comedy Il servitore di due padroni. One Man, Two Guvnors—which featured physical comedy, improvisations, audience participation, and skiffle-style music—moved to the West End the following September and to Broadway in April 2012. The “ridiculously silly play” (as Corden called it) earned seven Tony nominations, and Corden emerged as the upset victor in the category of best actor in a play. He also continued to appear on-screen, and his notable later film credits include the 2014 film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim ’s musical Into the Woods and The Lady in the Van (2015). Britannica Stories Is James Corden ready for (Late) Late Night?

- Salon.com Monday, Mar 23, 2015 3:59 PM UTC Is James Corden ready for (Late) Late Night? From swift fame to sudden backlash, a look at how the British comedy icon got to where he is today VIDEO Topics: hosting , james corden , late late show , TV , Video , Entertainment News James Corden (Credit: AP/Jordan Strauss) James Corden is well-known in his native Britain: An ubiquitous fixture in the TV comedy landscape, a prolific actor whose work spans genres, and a five-time BRIT Award host (think of him like a funnier, more talented Ryan Seacrest). But aside from a few high profile projects Stateside (like his recent role in “Into the Woods”), Corden has yet to attain the same level of fame outside the UK. Well that’s all all about to change, as Corden is set to inherit Craig Ferugson’s “Late Late Show” hosting gig starting this Monday evening.

It remains to be seen what sort of host Corden will be — like Fallon, he’s a multitalented showman, a song and dance man brimming with upbeat energy — but with a similarly sardonic, edgy humor as his Scottish predecessor Ferguson. In honor of his ascension to the late night chair, here’s a look back at Corden’s trajectory so far: Early work: The London-born actor got his start with small roles in a series of British shows like “Teachers,” “Hollyoaks” and “Little Britain,” had a main part in the short-lived comedy series “Boyz Unlimited,” and appeared in films like Mike Leigh’s 2002 “All or Nothing” (see the trailer below). “Fat Friends” Corden got his first prominent TV role in the acclaimed UK TV series “Fat Friends,” set around a group of friends at in a Leeds weight-loss club, which ran from 2000 to 2005. He played Jamie Rymer, a 15-year-old teen bullying victim, who attempts suicide early in the series (fans of the show will know that Corden has dramatic chops to rival his comedic ones).

“The History Boys” In 2004, Corden starred in the London stage version of Alan Bennett’s play “The History Boys,” about a group of grammar school boys preparing to write their Oxford and Cambridge entrance exams. Corden reprised the part in the 2006 film, alongside fellow rising star Dominic Cooper. And here are the guys having some laughs behind the scenes: “Gavin and Stacey” Corden’s big break came with the beloved BBC sitcom “Gavin and Stacey” (2007-2010), which he co-wrote and starred in with fellow “Fat Friends” alum Ruth Jones. The show was popular and widely acclaimed, and Corden became a critical darling, receiving numerous BAFTAs and other awards. Here’s him and Sheridan Smith rapping Estelle and Kanye’s “American Boy” in a highlight from the third season: Other work: During “Gavin and Stacey,” Corden became an increasingly prominent fixture in the British pop culture landscape.

He took on a number of hosting gigs — from “Big Brother’s Big Mouth” to the BRIT Awards (which he would go on to host five times, not always successfully ) to comedy/sports show “A League of their Own — and was a panel show regular, as well as starring in movies like “Gulliver’s Travels” and “How to Lose Friends & Alienate People.” Here’s him chatting with One Direction at the 2014 BRITs: He was also featured alongside Dizzee Rascal on 2010’s “Shout for England,” the unofficial anthem of the British World Cup team. Yet not all his post-“Gavin” projects succeeded; his sketch show “Horne & Corden” widely tanked, with some critics decrying it as homophobic and the Daily Telegraph calling it “about as funny as credit default swaps” (ouch). In fact, despite — or perhaps as a result — of his cultural ubiquity, Corden’s reputation took a sharp beating, with The Guardian’s Mark Lawson dubbing his trajectory “one of the steepest and quickest falls from grace in showbiz history.” Think of it as HathaHate, only worse.

As the Guardian’s Carole Cadwalladr put it: One minute, he’s the toast of the town, the new king of comedy, the genius who, with Ruth Jones, wrote and starred in Gavin & Stacey, one of the most loved new comedies of recent times; the next, he’s “that fat git with a laugh like a neutered howler monkey” (Ally Ross, the Sun). His sketch show, Horne & Corden, was pooh-poohed (“About as funny as credit default swaps” – the Daily Telegraph), his film, Lesbian Vampire Killers universally slated (“The worst movie of the year,” according to the Observer’s Philip French). He’s been a tabloid whipping boy ever since.” While his professional career was losing steam, Corden was gaining a similarly bad reputation offstage (people started to comment on his outsized ego when he complained onstage about only winning two BAFTAs, not three, back in 2008).

His tabloid exploits are similarly legion, including courtships with X Factor winner Alexandra Burke and Lily Allen, a public spat with Patrick Stewart , and famously cutting off Adele at the BRIT awards in 2012: Comeback: Gradually Corden was able to ride out the backlash; he got great reviews for his leading role in the stage play “One Man, Two Guvnors,” a role he held in London’s West End and eventually on Broadway, where he would go on to win the Tony. He also created “The Wrong Mans,” an acclaimed action-comedy series for BBC2 and Hulu, and played the baker in the recent adaptation of Sondheim’s “Into the Woods,” alongside Anna Kendrick, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt. Here’s a clip from “One Man, Two Guvnors” And his acceptance speech from the 2012 Tonys (try not to get choked up over the Philip Seymour Hoffman shoutout) A look at the “The Wrong Mans,” available on Hulu : And here’s a snippet of “No-one is Alone,” his “Into the Woods” duet with Anna Kendrick: It’s hosting time!

Corden’s “Late Late Show” gig kicks off tonight, and he’s been making the rounds in preparation. Here’s him chatting about the gig with Seth Meyers a few months back: And here’s Ferguson sizing up his successor. Good luck, Corden! See you tonight.

But a generation can rest easy as James Corden has confirmed hit TV comedy favourite Gavin & Stacey is set to make a comeback. James, who wrote the show with actress and friend Ruth Jones, said the show was just 'too good' not to return to our screens.

Back in the day: Nessa (Ruth Jones), Stacey (Joanna Page), Gavin (Mathew Horne) and Smithy (James Corden) became household names after the first series of the show in May 2007 He said: 'It would be a crime not to, it’s a great show. Writing with Ruth is a gift, I definitely plan on doing some more.' However on Monday night James left fans disappointed by revealing that plans are not in the pipeline just yet. He tweeted: 'Getting loads of messages about a Gavin and Stacey special. Im sorry to say there are no plans right now im afraid,but maybe one day! X(sic)' James, who went on to star in hit theatre show One Man Two Guvnors, played Smithy in the award-winning BBC series which ended in 2010.

It also saw Gavin and Stacey - played by Mathew Horne and Joanna Page - reveal they were expecting a baby.

Bafta winning: James Corden and Ruth Jones with the Programme of The Year award received for Gavin And Stacey in 2008 I don't believe it! The premise of the series was when Essex by Gavin, played by Mathew Horne, met loveable Welsh girl Stacey, and they fell in love After the show went off air 14,000 people signed an online petition begging for its return. There were fears the show would end for good because of Corden’s success in the stage play, he went on to win a Tony Award, and Ruth’s busy working schedule - she started her own production company Tidy Productions. Ruth previously said she would like to reunite the characters in some specials, as well as a possible musical episode of the show. Devastated: When the show ended viewers were devastated and 14,000 people signed a petition to bring it back Close to our hearts: Larry Lamb (Mick) and Alison Steadman (Pam) played Gavin's loveable Essex parents But James said he can’t wait to get together with Ruth to start writing more episodes of the comedy based in Barry Island in South Wales.

James added he is on good terms with the rest of the cast including Horne whom he stopped working with after their film Lesbian Vampire Killers flopped. He added: 'He’s still a really good mate, He's coming to my wedding later this year.' WHAT'S OCCURING? GAVIN & STACEY FACTFILE David Cameron confessed to using the show's catchphrases, such as Nessa's 'What's Occurring?' and 'Tidy'. James Corden met Ruth Jones - Nessa and his co-writer on Gavin & Stacey - when they both starred in Fat Friends, an ITV drama about the members of a slimming group. James told her about a wedding he had just been to where the bride was Welsh and the groom English. Corden based his own character, Smithy, on a friend of his cousin. Others are based on people the co-writers met in the hotel bar during the filming of Fat Friends. The writers hoped to make Gavin & Stacey a one-off TV film. Jones says, 'When the BBC got our proposal they said, 'We don't have a slot for a one-hour special.

Why don't you chart their relationship and go back to when they met and culminate the end of the series in their wedding?" The re-written proposal for the first series was so good that when the BBC commissioning editor was reading it on the train, she completely missed her stop.
